The Woman From Hell

Chapter 991

Franky suddenly said, "Are you lying to yourself or to them, Ms. Lane?”

| looked at him and suddenly noticed that there were several muscular guys behind him.

He looked atwith a face full of mockery. "Maybe worry about yourself first, Ms. Lane. Although Mr. Milan

respects the Fredericks, it doesn't mean that he's scared of them. If you don't tone it down, then Mr. Milan might

make you join them too."

Having said that, he looked at the men behind him and spoke to them in their language while pointing at

Shannon and the rest.

My eyes widened as | shouted, "What do you plan to do to them?!"

Franky looked atand said with a sneer, "You can't possibly think that Mr. Milan orderedto take you here

to admire the scenery?"

| frowned. "I'm asking what do you plan to do to them?"

Franky looked coldly at me. "Letroughly elaborate t 0 you what Mr. Milan wants. Although he can't hurt you

now, he can show you how your friends will be harmed. You look like a person who cares a lot about your

friendships."

My complexion instantly turned pale. Looking at the men walking toward the glass compartments, | held Franky's

hand and pleaded with him. "Please don't hurt them. They didn't do anything wrong."

Franky sneered. "Leia took care of you for days but had to be sent here simply because you were ten minutes

late. Do you think she’s innocent too?"

| was stunned, not knowing what to say.

However, when | saw the men approaching the glass compartments, | was immediately flustered and continued

pleading with him. "I was wrong, Mr. Frank. Please don't hurt them. | was wrong."

"Are you going to take their place, then?" Franky looked atwith a faint smile.

| shook my head, exposing the truest side of humanity.

Franky let out a boisterous laugh, saying while guffawing, "Ms. Lane, if you can’t sacrifice yourself to save others,

then stop pretending to be a saint."

My face was instantly pale, and | was momentarily lost for words.

However, | did not intend to just sit around and watch.

| gritted my teeth and said, "Mr. Frank, | just hurt one o f your friends yet you're retaliating against five of my

friends. Don't you think that’s very unfair?"

Franky raised his eyebrows. "Are you saying that | can pick one, then?"

| opened my mouth, not knowing what to say. | was even more afraid to look at Shannon and the rest.

Franky sneered and said, "Why don't you pick one out of five of your friends, then? We'll be even then, right?"

| pursed my lips, not saying a word.

Seeing that | was silent, he said with a smile, "Looks like you just want your friends to share the pain and

suffering together."

"No!" | quickly said, my body going cold from head to toe.

"Hurry up and pick one, then.”

| looked at Shannon and the rest. | saw Nina looking a twith a look of disbelief. Her eyes were full of

indignation.

| withdrew my gaze, having no courage to look at them again nor meet their eyes.

After falling silent for a long time, | looked at Frank and said, "Don't hurt them. I'll take the blfor the

mistakes | made."

Frank snickered. "It isn't your turn yet."

After a pause, he pointed at Shannon and the rest and continued to say, "You're the one who hurt Leia, after all,

not these ladies. Although | can't touch you now, choosing one of these women to avenge Leia isn’t exactly

unacceptable foreither. Since you can't make a choice, I'll choose for you, then. Neither of us

will feel upset about it."

| widened my eyes and looked incredulously at him.

He was doing it on purpose. Regardless of who he chose, | would carry the guilt withfor the rest of my life.

Frank rested his gaze on Dazaray and said with a smile, "Oh, such a merciful person | am. | heard that religious

people won't resent others. For your sake, I'll pick her. How's that?"

I quickly shook my head. "No, you can't do that. Pick m e. I'll take her place."

Dazaray opened her eyes, looking at Franky andwith a face full of trepidation.

Franky ignoredand beckoned to the men to take Dazaray outside.

| tried to stop the men but was pushed to the ground.

| heard Dazaray's screams that were intermingled with Franky's maniacal laughter. "This is so exciting t o watch.”

I had no courage to look at Dazaray and could only look at the ground with a blank gaze.

The period of twhen Dazaray's screams reverberated in my ears was the most tormenting for me.

"May you never rest in peace, Wanda Lane!" Dazaray screamed in despair at the end. 1

In the eyes of these people, the torture of heart surmounts all physical sufferings in killing a man.

When | returned to the living room, there was now a very large dining table set up in the center. It was spread

out with scrumptious food.

Milan was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, reading a book while looking extremely leisurely.

Frank and the rest had left, leaving only Milan andin the huge living room.

He did not askto return to my room, so that meant that he wantedto stay here.

This time, | stood obediently at the side, not daring to say a word.

After almost half an hour, a servant walked up to Milan and said reverently, "Dinner's ready, Sir."

Milan put down the book in his hand and nodded faintly.

He was a man with a cold disposition, so cold that it sent shivers down one's spine.

He stood up from the sofa, and at nearly 6.2 feet tall, h e emitted an intense oppressive aura.

Seemingly only just noticing that | was standing there, he looked atwith a slightly surprised look before

saying blandly, "Eat."

| pointed at myself, looking unsurely at him.

He ignored me. It was the servant who approachedand made a gesture of invitation.

| walked to the table and sat down. | waited for Milan t o pick up his cutleries, and only then did | pick up mine to

eat.

He was a man of few words, but perhaps he had nothing to say toanyway.

This was an extremely restraining meal for me.

At this moment, there was a loud noise heard from the kitchen. Franky was the first to rush into the living room

with smen, then enter the kitchen to check on the situation.

Soon, Franky walked out to report, "Sir, someone accidentally spilled something.”

Milan nodded, putting down the knife and fork in his hand.

Franky frowned, looking at the chef who cout after him. The chef broke out in a cold sweat under his stare.

"Sir, he...” Franky saw Milan staring atand did not finish his sentence. &
